So, how are you guys? :) I know you probably won't see this and I'm not expecting a reply. I just thought it would be cool to come back to this awesome wikispace after so long... I miss my China buddy so much, but he has actually sent me a few emails :)

~Charmaine
RECENT UPDATES
1) Qiwen's powerpoint which we agreed we are using is placed in the page "Powerpoint". (14/4/11)
2) The "Singapore Song" is placed in the page "Song". (14/4/11) 3) Justin just came back. from a long holiday away from the wikispace. (New Update) 4) Can we create like a page for each one of us, and start a story about the trip there? (Like a diary entry. What you bought, how you feel about it...) Anyway, I will create my own page.
IMPORTANT: The edited powerpoint which we presented today are suppoesd to be changed. I've changed it but I'm not sure whether I've changed all the points. Please help me to read it and check. And perhaps edit it!
~Qiwen
Okay, I have just edited it. It is in the "Powerpoint" page.
~Ryan
3) The powerpoint has been edited again.
4) Jokes in "Thing we need to do". :)
5) Play "I Spy" in the "Powerpoint" page (in Qiwen's powerpoint, look in "Powerpoint" page for more details) and also in "Things we need to do"
Why isn't anyone writing on this page again?
~Charmaine
I am! Lalalalalalala! :):):):) Heeheeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
~Ryan
Now the home page is starting to become junk...................lllllooooooooooolllllllll
~Claudia
Yup. LOLlllllllipop! Heeeheeee....
~Ryan
You guys have really gone nuts.....(especially Ryan)
~Charmaine
Thnak you SO MUCH for blaming me! LOLLLLiop...
~Ryan
Yeah...now the whole wiki will be full of junk!
~Qiwen
Yeah, cos that nothing much to talk about anyway, so to show our excitement, we go crazy and talk junk.........lol Lol LOLipop LOL lollipop Lolippop
~Claudia (sorry for the spelling, cos mine's damn bad)
There's nothing wrong with the junk, to me... And plus that will make this wikispace more interesting!
~Ryan
Yah, cos there's nothing else to say anyway.
~Claudia
Really glad that tommorow, Monday 9 May, is a school holiday. A goooooooooooooooooood break from exams!!!
~Ryan
Yes!! And this week, when the exam on thrusday finishes, all exams are over!! Yeah!!!! And my excitement level will probably go upupupupupupup up! maybe 100% excitement. Teachers, please do not teach anything after CT1 (SA1) Until Term 3 cos nothing will go in...
~Claudia
Yeah, the teachers should all throw a party with us, like what Zhou Lao Shi did last year. And BTW, don't you have Higher Chinese exam on Monday 16 May? We have!
~Ryan
Oh, you have an exam on Monday. Is that your last exam? Anyway, you still have a day of rest (Vesak Day, 17 May) though it's kind of boring, why don't we start packing our luggages then? Haha that would be kind of fun...
~Claudia
Yup, that is my last exam. Therefore, I am SOOOOOOO happy that the day after my last exam is a holiday cause then I can play and play to my heart's content!!!
WAIT, actually you're right. So probably I won't be able to " play and play to my heart's content" cause I probably have to take the whole day to pack my luggage. (SSSIIIGGGGGHHHHH)
~Ryan
You still have one week to pack your luggage (about one week) You do not have to finish packing on that day cos I am sure that there will be other stuff to pack (e.g. your toothbrush --unless you have multiple)
~Claudia
How big is your luggage?
~Charmaine
I was thinking about a 20" luggage but my father said it was too small, he said need at least 22".
~Claudia
Oh....
~Charmaine
I am just using one of the old luggages. And don't be surprised that I MAY be using a purple one, becuase that is "the right one for me because of the size", so says my parents.
~Ryan
Hey Ryan! ... I don't know why I said that. Maybe it's because you haven't been editing just now when I came...
~Claudia
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I may be going for a long holiday like Justin cause my brother says this is wasting a good precious lot of my time which I could use for studying.
~Ryan
But you have only one exam left what...on Monday? Why must study more? I am relaxing now, finding stuff for luggage. And btw what's that picture?
~Claudia
Btw, I think you're enjoying the day after exams finish...andddddd................................um....what did I want to say?
oh ya, I thought you said you wanted to create a percussion page? Anyway, I will create it.
~Claudia
I forgot to create it...but anyway, we are using cans with beans so.........................
Btw, I don't have cans, cos I don't usually drink from cans....and I am not sure if I have beans, too.
~Claudia
I just created the Percussion page. And to your question about the picture, Claudia, that is a picture of Tianjin which I got from Google.
~Ryan
Do we need to finish creating the 'shaker' (cans + beans) today? And also, how do you make sure the beans don't drop out from the can, are we supposed to tape the opening?
~Claudia
Umm....are we supposed to bring it tomorrow? And... how are we going to make it?
~Charmaine
We're not! I don't know how to make it........
~Claudia
I think you should use bottles instead as there is no hole for the beans or rice to drop out. I have used a Peach Tea bottle with red beans inside it and when I shake it, the sound is really loud. Remember that the lesser the number of beans or rice, the louder the sound will be when you shake it, so don't put too many beans/ too much rice.
~Ryan
How about a vitagen bottle (that my brother collects) and a toy bottle that can fit into each other without dropping? Cos I can't really find any empty bottles at home, all are being used (by my parents to drink water), and I can't find any other small ones either (if it is too big, it will take up alot of space in the luggage)
~Claudia
Are we supposed to bring the bottle on MOnday before our trip to school to practice during recess?
~Charmaine
Well, you know....
~Claudia
Sorry for late reply. Did everyone enjoy the trip? I did when I was not sick and did not when I was sick! The best part for me was the buddy's family, because they were so nice to me! Justin would probably think that too, because of the load of gifts he got... Where did your buddy's family take you to? We went to Bo Wu Guan which is like a museum of dead animals. What I liked about that place was the field outside, as there were ssssooooo many HUGE dandelions there that we blew!!! How about you guys?
~Ryan
Question: Which 博物馆 was that? My host family wanted to bring me to the 自然博物馆, but there was no time after we went to 古文化街.
~Claudia
Hey! Me too! My buddy's family wanted to bring me to the 自然博物馆 but changed their minds and brought me to 古文化街.
Does any of your buddies keep pets?
~Qiwen
No. Or at least not that I can see.
~Claudia
See?
My buddy has 2 dogs and 2 terrapins.
~Qiwen
Maybe they kept it in the kitchen which I did not go in except to give my gift.
~Claudia
